Strategies For Thrivable 

Production & Consumption

Hello!



Join us in focusing on new strategies to ensure thrivable production and consumption in a world of limited resources. By making mindful choices, reducing waste, supporting ethical businesses, and conserving energy, we can minimise environmental harm while meeting our needs. Industries, governments, and individuals all play a role in creating a balanced system that benefits both people and the planet. By exploring practical strategies to embrace thrivability we can ensure a healthier future through conscious production and consumption.

"Buy less, choose wisely, make it last."

SPOTLIGHT - 

Patagonia Paves The Way

Patagonia’s core values are; quality, integrity, environmentalism, justice, and not being bound by convention. Other companies must look to them as inspiration and a leader in this field. They are passionate about breaking the disposable cycles of fast fashion. For example, they offer instructional videos to repair garments rather than encourage purchasing new replacements. 

Patagonia is focused on supporting grassroots activism, taking responsibility for environmental impact, and giving profits to the planet.



Patagonia’s product design orientates around using sustainable materials, designing for simplicity and utility, creating versatile clothing, repairing and reusing products, reducing waste, and creating a sense of community.

"Thrivable production and consumption lie at the heart of creating a flourishing future. By rethinking how we design, produce, and consume, we can reduce waste, conserve resources, and promote circular systems. SDG12 challenges us to adopt practices that balance economic growth with environmental stewardship. 



Sustainable Business Models, focused on regeneration and minimising waste, pave the way for industries to thrive while protecting the planet. Adopting strategies to ensure responsible consumption guarantees that prosperity today does not compromise the well-being of future generations."

Story Highlight by Thriver 

Memory Munetsi (Team Assistant):

EcoNest: Profit with Purpose

Mara’s startup, EcoNest, produced biodegradable packaging from agricultural waste, prioritising creating a strategy to ensure a thrivable business. In a boardroom pitch, she explained how the farmers earned extra income, the production used minimal energy, and the product decomposed naturally. An investor asked, “Is it profitable?”



She smiled. “Consumers value thrivability, and businesses benefit from eco-friendly branding and reduced waste regulations. It’s a win for the planet and profit.”



After a pause, the investor nodded. “We’re in.”

Mara knew this wasn’t just business—it was a step toward a thrivable future, proving that prioritising the planet could drive both impact and success.
